Once again I am reminded of that Dairy Queen commercial where the narrator says "What if we made cakes for all occasions?" and it shows Dairy Queen ice cream cakes with stuff like "Parole Denied" written on them.

I think those are sperm on the "sorry you were robbed" cake, which means it was probably given to someone who's trying to get pregnant but hasn't so far...or maybe I've just been reading this blog too long...(as if that could ever happen!)

wv - litto: a very small slice of cake, as in "Just a litto one for me."

The PMS cake was supposed to say 'Welcome to PM's" for a friend of mine who just started working the evening shift at her hospital. She posted it to Facebook and I told her she should submit it here, soooo funny and I'm glad to see it made it to a post :D

Emo is a term used for people, usually teens, who listen to a certain type of rock music, dress a certain way, etc. They are usually "emo"tional and whine about how terrible everything is, even when wearing a $60 pair of jeans that mommy paid for. It's not untypical for an emo kid to cut oneself. It's just part of the "appeal."

I hate the emo one. Self injury is symptomatic of serious mental illness and I hate that it's now an Internet meme on a cake. Imagine how hard it is for teens and young adults who have the serious compulsion to cut their skin, break their bones, and burn themselves to get help when everyone thinks it's just an emo thing or a cry for attention. /rant

I actually thought the PMS one was pretty funny...I would have much preferred cake over "The Talk." And I find the bees (aka yellow Slimers)on the teen pregnancy cake surprisingly disturbing for some reason...

Like Jerry, I want to recast a cake so it makes sense. I think the "teen pregnancy one" is for a young lady who met a suitable life partner, got married, or at least settled in a stable domestic arrangement right out of highschool and is now expecting the planned birth of her first child.

Or maybe it's congratualting the Duggars on the conception of one of their last seven children.

Believe it or not, I delivered a break up on a cookie cake once. It said "We are breaking up." The lady laughed at me when I ordered it. The boy, well he just said "I don't like cookie cake." ugh.. he had it coming.

Lol I thought that flowery cake said congrats on your jean pregnancy. I love how a cake can express fake flowery happiness over it while trying to make it seem like they are happy for them.. way to go wreckerators. I would so be all over that PMS cake seeing as mine wont go away.. eternal pms.. needs cake lol.

To the ex-emo who found the cutting cake funny: there are those of us who don't find mocking of our illness funny. I'm 35, I've never been emo, but I have schotzoaffective disorder. It's a very serious problem where I hear voices that tell me to cut and break the bones in my hands and arms. Being associated with emos and people that do it to be part of a counter culture makes me want to throw up.

Wow! I'm shocked at the EMO cake. Self-injury is a serious mental disorder. If someone you loved was a cutter (and not EMO) it would break your heart to see something so serious and troubling made light of.

After that last one, I wept for the future of a world with such morons in it (either the idiots who can't read a cake form, or the idiots who can't fill one out right, which ever it is..... I pray for the latter) After this one, the tears are of laughter.

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
